I met a couple last week of whom one has lost his job and the other is working 15 hours per week. For one week out of every month they have absolutely no money. In the winter, for example, they cannot afford heating for one week in every four. One of their children has asthma and each month they have to beg and borrow the money to bring the child 15 miles up the road.
